What the feck?
Hes been really good and was key in the 2nd goal. Can see why Mourinho went for him, if he holds up the ball as he has today, we are lethal on the counter.

On the plus side, Big Rom was inches away from scoring a beautiful scissor kick and breaking his drought.
Btw, I think any poster who claims his link up play and touch are always abysmal needs to be forced to watch that 2nd goal Clockwork Orange styley.
I think he had a great half so far. Just like in the first half vs Watford. Hope his second isn't as disastrous as Tuesday though.
Next time try to watch the match.
He's linking up well with the rest.
I think he's been brilliant.
Looks okay today. Some nice passes and roles in the goals.
Could really use a slice of luck, a lot of what he's trying just isn't coming off unfortunately.

Great first half by Lukaku, one of his best.
He's like Rooney, sometimes slick but sometimes can't trap a bag of sand.
His overall game has been good, but strikers get judged for their goals. Until the goals come, he will still be found wanting.
Great opportunity for him to rediscover his form by scoring a third and killing the game.

Doing really well tonight, looks a handful and link up excellent. Fancy him for a goal second half.
He is shite at hold up play
Obligatory post.
I m in pain watching him play. His current form is horrible.
We could of scored another 1-2 goals this game easily with a better striker like Jesus with better technique and movement.
And right yet again
His basics as a footballer are absolutely terrible
Playing well today. Lingards wouldn't have half the room he gets if it wasn't for Lukakus tireless runs without the ball.
His 'runs' .. reminds of me silent domination
No idea how he's lasted the full 90. He had one nice pass in the first half that initiated a counter attack but, bar that, he's been poor again.
After the City game he should be dropped if he doesn't score.
Time for the 352 with rashford & martial upfront with lingard in behind. Time to finish off the job LVG Started José.

Yep. I think he has been improving on that since he has been here, but when it is bad it' really bad.
Pretty useless at the moment.
Played a big part in the buildup to 2 of our goals, thought he was pretty good today
Did some good stuff at times and the work rate was there but he can look a real oaf in so many aspects of his play.
Comparing Rooney's touch to Lukaku is an insult to Wayne. Yes he could be erratic but Lukaku would be massively improved if he could match Rooney.

Not good enough, needs to do better. Granted, probably not helped by the fact that he has to try to deal with long balls a bit too many times.
Second game in a row hes been good in the first half and then just inexplicably turned into the worse player in the world in the second half.
Needs to hold it up better at times. Could have put Pogba through at one stage if he held the ball up better.
I'll forgive him that final 20 mins down to tiredness and us playing with ten. Very good before that and had a goal in the 3rd goal as well with the quick pass.
Someone give him Berbatov's number please. That touch needs some serious help. He can't trap germs in a sewer.
He's usually clinical when he gets service and he sure can't complain about that with the form of our attackers. Wonder why he's not scoring, it seems to be a psychological problem.
Still, he's helping others score, so earning his bread at the moment.

Harsh. Puts in a great shift when he's well supported and unisolated. However near useless when he's isolated. Wild touch means he isn't a targetman yet we keep deploying him that way. Shouldn't be untouchable. Should be a tool in Jose's toolbox
He's linking up so well with others. From team point of view, he's been awesome. Personally if he could pick up scoring he would be even more amazing.
Nah that's rubbish. Lukaku was involved with pretty much all our goals, he distracts the defence really well by himself, it let's the others do their jobs with more freedom.After the City game he should be dropped if he doesn't score.

Not like he had any chances to score today was it?
Whilst at Everton he always went on dry spells. Scores in bunches and then nothing for 5/6 games
Second goal, yes.
Third goal, surely that simple lay off to Lingard isn't something to put on a poster...
When his first touch is good his hold-up play is also good. It's his touch which kills his whole game. It's honestly no better than Emile Heskey.
He is still playing okay just needs a goal.

Very, very happy with him today. What I was asking him to do all this time, finally appeared today. He used his physicality in every ball and won many aerial duels.
Didn't score but that doesn't matter.

Nothing rashford could not do.
